In the months of experience i have riding a bicycle through a crowd of people, I have created a law that determines how a walker will behave when a bicycle approaches them. Here is what it states:
Let vb and vw be the velocities of the bicyclist and the walker with respect to the ground, A the angle between them, and R the distance between them. Then the probability that the walker will begin to exhibit Brownian motion is given by
PB = 0 for A <>
PB = e^(-kR) vb vw for 180 > A > 90
for some constant k. A corallary of this law is that the probability that an accident will occur between increases with PB. So, for God's sake, walk in a PREDICTABLE straight line.

First Post
Hello World!
Computer Science is strange. The first program written in any language is always one the prints "Hello World!" How original.
Anyway, this is my wonderful blog. I doubt I will ever keep up, but whatever. As the title may suggest, I enjoy math a little too much. 8128 is my favorite number, perfect in every way. Perfect meaning is it of the form (2^n-1)*2^(n-1), with 2^n-1 being prime. Such a number is called perfect (like 6 and 28), for it is the sum of its positive divisors.
I think this is enough for today. Stay tuned for other posts, if I actually post them.
